Stelter Co. wall






Here's the completed project for the Stelter Company. Thank you to everyone who helped out on this build. Dan Hunt AIA, Miller's, Tony The Painter, Snyder and especially D. Boone for his many, many hours spent sanding all of those cypress slats. You definitely have some ownership in the benches.

Thank you to everyone at Stelter as well. You all were a pleasure to work with - especially Russ and Mark. True gentlemen.

Cheers,
Boonie
